Past Presidents

ITVA / MCA-I / MCAINY

Yes, there are some missing pieces to this puzzle. I think the list of international presidents is accurate and complete, but the list of New York Chapter presidents only goes back to 1984. So if you can provide any of the missing information, don’t hesitate to email me.

MCA-I, MCAINY’s parent organization, was founded as the National Industrial Television Association (NITA) by Thomas F. Hatcher, Harry Kaemmerer, Merrill Lent, and Dr. Edwin Moenckmeier, and registered in the State of New Jersey as a 501 (c) (6) association on April 3, 1970. Its first home office was in Morris, NJ. Renamed the IITVA (International Industrial Television Association) in 1973, and then shortened to the ITVA (International Television Association) in 1978, it assumed its current name in 2001 to reflect the growing diversity of its membership, a result of the expansion and convergence of communications technologies in the previous decade.
